Social Question

Are you having a Yankee Swap (aka White Elephant) in your office today?

What did you buy for it? Was there a spending limit imposed? And what did you get in return? Any particularly “hot” items get stolen multiple times?

My office’s “holiday party” is at noon today. I bought a wine corkscrew & stopper set for $20 from Bed Bath & Beyond. We’ll see what I end up with. Last year I think I got a DVD of famous Yankees, which I have yet to unwrap….

surprised to hear of any office having parties this year- my husbands place which in the past had the most luxurious coctail parties and gift baskets and bottles of scotch sent home – they are having nothing this year

Our office didn’t have a gift swap but we all got a Christmas lunch and drinks at the local pub last week, and a bottle of champagne each handed out today. My folk club is having a gift swap on Monday, maximum value of gift £2.00 (about US$4).
